Mains lead
Handle the mains lead and socket as follows in order to avoid any
risk of fire, electric shock or damage and/or injuries:
• Use only mains leads supplied by Sony, not other suppliers.
• Insert the plug fully into the mains socket.
• Operate the TV set on a 220 V - 240 V AC supply only.
• When wiring cables, be sure to unplug the mains lead for your
safety and take care not to catch your feet on the cables.
• Disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket before
working on or moving the TV set.
• Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
• Unplug the mains plug and clean it regularly. If the plug is
covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may
deteriorate, which could result in a fire.
Note
• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other equipment.
• Do not pinch, bend, or twist the mains lead excessively. The core
conductors may be exposed or broken.
• Do not modify the mains lead.
• Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.
• Do not pull on the mains lead itself when disconnecting the
mains lead.
• Do not connect too many appliances to the same mains socket.
• Do not use a poor fitting mains socket.
Prohibited Usage
Do not install/use the TV set in locations, environments or
situations such as those listed below, or the TV set may
malfunction and cause a fire, electric shock, damage and/or
injuries.
Locations:
• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the seashore, on a ship or other
vessel, inside a vehicle, in medical institutions, unstable
locations, near water, rain, moisture or smoke.
Environments:
• Places that are hot, humid, or excessively dusty; where insects
may enter; where it might be exposed to mechanical vibration,
near flammable objects (candles, etc.). The TV set shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV.
Situations:
• Use when your hands are wet, with the cabinet removed, or
with attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
Disconnect the TV set from mains socket and aerial during
lightning storms.
• Install the TV so that it sticks out into an
open space. Injury or damage from a
person or object bumping into the TV may
result.
• Place the TV in a humid or dusty space,
or in a room with oily smoke or steam
(near cooking tables or humidifiers). Fire,
electric shock, or warping may result.
• Install the TV in places subject to
extreme temperature such as in direct sunlight, near a radiator
or a heating vent. The TV may overheat in such condition which
can cause deformation of the enclosure and/or TV malfunction.
• If the TV is placed in the changing room of
a public bath or hot spring, the TV may be
damaged by airborne sulfur, etc.
• For best picture quality, do not expose the
screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a
warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause
moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor
picture and/or poor colour. Should this occur, allow moisture to
evaporate completely before powering the TV on.
Broken pieces:
• Do not throw anything at the TV set. The screen glass may break
by the impact and cause serious injury.
• If the surface of the TV set cracks, do not touch it until you have
unplugged the mains lead. Otherwise this may cause an electric
shock.
When not in use

should be disconnected from the mains for environmental and
safety reasons.
• As the TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the TV
set is just turned off, pull the plug from the mains socket to
disconnect the TV set completely.
• Some TV sets may have features that require the TV set to be
left in standby to work correctly.
For children
• Do not allow children to climb on the TV set.
• Keep small accessories out of the reach of children, so that they
are not mistakenly swallowed.
